What engineering work it implies
Sample acceptance criteria Landfall generates for this obligation:
- Assess Lei 15.211/2025 Article 39's service-specific modulation and conditional dispensation. Record the exact eligible editorial-control or previously licensed-content provider class and every cumulative §1 condition: applicable classification rules (or required alternative age adequacy and harmful-content signalling), transparent age classification, accessible parental mediation restricting age-based content, personal data processed, interaction with other users and commercial transactions, and accessible reporting channels for misclassified or rights-violating content. A generic service label, a single safeguard or an asserted exemption is insufficient. Do not extend relief beyond the listed provisions, actual provider/service scope and established conditions. Record qualified review of current implementing criteria; synthetic checks and minimized records must preserve replacement safeguards and unresolved gaps.
- Verify the precise provider/service class: editorial control, or copyright-protected content previously licensed from a responsible economic agent distinct from an end user. A licence from an uploading user does not establish this class.
- Where relying on Article 39 §1, maintain classification or required alternative age-adequacy/signalling, transparent age classification, complete accessible parental mediation and the required accessible reporting channels. Controls cover age-based content, personal data processed, interactions with other users and commercial transactions.
- If any cumulative condition is missing, false or unresolved, do not treat the provider as relieved from the listed duties. Assess the ordinary source requirements and preserve any open legal determination.
- Limit the dispensation to Articles 6, 17, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32 and 40 in the established provider/service scope; preserve non-listed Articles 7/8 and other applicable law. Article 29 and Decree Article 22 are distinct conditional rules.

Use synthetic journeys to test classification transparency, each parental restriction, accessible reporting channels and failure of every condition. Retain scoped evidence and unresolved gaps without child interaction histories, illegal material or raw complaint payloads in general logs, attachments or exports.
